Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-5'.
-1.4 + 2.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.4' to each side of the equation.
-1.4 + 2.2x + 1.4 + x2 = 0 + 1.4

Reorder the terms:
-1.4 + 1.4 + 2.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.4

Combine like terms: -1.4 + 1.4 = 0.0
0.0 + 2.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.4
2.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.4 = 1.4
2.2x + x2 = 1.4

The x term is 2.2x.  Take half its coefficient (1.1).
Square it (1.21) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.21' to each side of the equation.
2.2x + 1.21 + x2 = 1.4 + 1.21

Reorder the terms:
1.21 + 2.2x + x2 = 1.4 + 1.21

Combine like terms: 1.4 + 1.21 = 2.61
1.21 + 2.2x + x2 = 2.61

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 1.1)(x + 1.1) = 2.61
